Best Country Music Songs About Raising Kids

Country music artists have long been famous for ballads about everyday life, but many also focus on families and the joy that comes with raising children.Country music artists are known for their raw take on life's problems, such as love, heartbreak, loss, death and misery. But a smaller number of songs deal with other aspects of everyday life - raising children - putting both the good and the bad into perspective.

Country musicians have penned songs about everything from bedtime stories and sharing a bed with the kids to their children's first love and a father's desperate attempt to hold onto his little girl.

The stories are often based on real life events, such as Rodney Atkins song, which was written about the singer's son Elijah. The song talks about Atkins' realization that his son wants to be just like him and has even picked up some of the star's less-than-positive qualities.

Whether they're happy, funny or sentimental, country music songs are always realistic and make us reflect on the difficult but completely rewarding job of parenting.

Getting kids interested in music at a young age

by Click-Clack

Improves their chances of doing "meaningful" music as they get older. DS was in the band for 7 years and plays 3 instruments. DD plays 3 instruments and sings. Both are excellent students. Neither would have known these opportunities in music exist if it hadn't been introduced to them in the schools.
I am grateful our district is one of the best in the country for promoting music in the schools, I wish I'd had the opportunities my kids have had.
